Association Artémisia is a French organization, led by Chantal Montellier, that awards a prize, le Prix Artémisia, every year to a graphic narrative by a woman. The prize is named after the Italian Renaissance artist Artemisia Gentileschi. It is awarded on the 9th of January, the birthday of existentialist philosopher and feminist pioneer Simone de Beauvoir.

Originally, it bestowed a singular award. However, over the years, they added first a special jury prize, before restructuring the award into four categories: the Grand Prix, a special jury prize, a humor prize, and a prize for a creator's first published work (prix avenir, or "future prize").
